The Socialist Party (PSOE) proposes ten measures to “reinforce the social and economic progress of Tenerife and of all its municipalities”, among which is to continue reducing the insular public sector. The socialist group in the Cabildo will defend a set of proposals that seek to “improve people’s lives and move towards an Island with greater social, economic and territorial balance” in the Debate on the State of the Island that is being held on Wednesday.
To put an end to wastewater discharges on the coast of Tenerife, the PSOE proposes to continue developing the council, “and always in coordination and collaboration with the rest of the public administrations”, the strategy and the necessary actions to avoid “the serious problem of wastewater discharges that the Island has suffered for decades”. This is a “compelled proposal due to the lack of investment in sanitation and purification suffered by the Island in the last three decades.”
Another of the actions, related to collaboration and cooperation with the municipalities, seeks that the insular institution continue with actions of assistance, collaboration and cooperation with the municipalities, especially with those with less than 20,000 inhabitants and with preferential attention to those with fewer economic and management capacity, “and thus continue promoting the territorial, social and economic balance of Tenerife”. The objective is to continue with the firm and decisive commitment of the PSOE with which municipalism and territorial investment balance are a transversal axis of the actions promoted from the insular area.
“The Cabildo must promote and encourage the Vocational training Dual in Tenerife », points out the socialist group. “And it must be done in coordination with all the social and economic agents involved, the participation of small and medium enterprises in this training modality, to strengthen the quality and extension of the Dual Vocational Training system on the Island”, he adds. Work must be done through promotion, advice and support for companies together with the work carried out by the Departments of Education and Employment of the Canary Islands Government.
The audiovisual sector
“The audiovisual sector has become in recent years an element of economic development in the Canary Islands and, in particular, in Tenerife,” he says. Develop a training plan at different levels to accompany the process of development of the audiovisual industry Tenerife, as well as designing an infrastructure and resource management plan that attracts audiovisual productions is another of the proposals of the PSOE of Tenerife. “In any case, it must be accompanied by the organization of a regular island meeting of all the operators in the sector to give new impetus to audiovisual policy and the cultural industry in Tenerife,” he defends.
The PSOE is committed to continuing to promote the rationalization and reduction of the insular public sector in the Cabildo. “The island corporation is the Canarian public administration with the largest number of entities, especially public companies, that make up its public sector and one of the first at the national level,” affirm the Socialists. That is why since the arrival of the PSOE to the Cabildo “the adoption of measures to rationalize, order, control and make more efficient the operation of the entities that make up the insular public sector has intensified.”
“After 30 years of inaction by Canarian Coalition in the Cabildo and in the Government of the Canary Islands, which have caused the collapse of Tenerife’s roads, the PSOE proposes to continue betting, for the improvement of mobility on the Island, for the culmination of the Insular Plan for Sustainable Mobility of Tenerife and the development of “such important works” as the closure of the section of the insular ring between Santiago del Teide and El Tanque, the first phase of the third lane of the South highway, the Las Chafiras-Oroteanda works, the burying of the Esperanza or the pedestrian walkway of the Padre Anchieta roundabout.
road works
The PSOE of Tenerife recalls the construction projects that are currently in the pipeline and that are also “essential” to help resolve the collapse of traffic on the TF-1 and TF-5: the La Laguna ring road, the section of the island ring between Icod de los Vinos and San Juan de la Rambla, the third bus-HOV lane on the North highway from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to La Orotava and the variant between Guaza and Fañabé.
For cover the needs of public housing on the Island, the PSOE advocates urging the Government of Spain to strengthen and streamline the actions of the Management Company for Assets Proceeding from Bank Restructuring in social housing. “The aim is to maximize the social utility of these properties and to allow all administrations with powers in housing matters to make use of them to cover the need for housing that exists,” the socialists point out in the note.
Among the measures are also the Hospitals of the North and South of Tenerife, “a historical debt with the citizens of Tenerife,” the note collects.
